On Friday night, BYU kicks off week two of college football with a road game at SMU. The Cougars are double-digit underdogs. Here are three keys to a BYU upset
win over SMU.You can't talk about BYU's 2023 season without the catastrophic mistakes. The scoop-and-score against Kansas to start Big 12 play, the pick-six against the Jayhawks that gave up the lead, the punt return against Arkansas, the pick-six against TCU to start the game, the double turnovers to start against Iowa State, and the infamous 100 yard pick-six against Oklahoma.
In a year when BYU was trying to punch above its weight as a first-year member of a power conference, catastrophic mistakes were constantly in the headlines. 30 and lovin' it: under Kalani Sitake, BYU is 42-4 when scoring 30+ points. SMU under Rhett Lashlee is 18-1 when scoring 30 or more, with 16 consecutive wins at 30+ points.If BYU is going to score 30 points or more against an SMU defense that allowed 17.8 points per game last season, the Cougars must convert in the redzone. Last week against the Salukis, three BYU drives stalled in SIU territory.
